The spring measures 0.3 inches in outside diameter with a free length of 1.25 inches and a wire diameter of 0.0319 inches. It carries a maximum work load of 7 pounds and a spring rate of 7.48 pounds per inch, making it well-suited for light-duty actuation, return, and clamping functions. The closed and ground end type provides flat seating surfaces for consistent load transfer and stable operation. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians working on mechanical assemblies, HVAC components, valves, and similar equipment are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compression spring fits applications in both residential and light commercial environments where a compact, small-diameter spring is required. Typical uses include valve actuators, control linkages, door hardware, pump components, plumbing trim mechanisms, and general mechanical assemblies that require a controlled return force. Its silver plain finish and stainless steel construction make it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture or mild corrosives. The 0.3000-inch outside diameter and 0.313-inch recommended hole diameter allow drop-in fitment in standard machined housings and bores designed for this spring class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction meets AISI 302 and ASTM A313 material standards for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed and ground ends provide flat, stable seating for consistent axial load transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-pound maximum work load with a 7.48 pounds-per-inch spring rate for predictable deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.3000-inch outside diameter fits 0.313-inch hole diameter housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid height of 0.383 inches limits over-compression in tightly toleranced assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecision spring type ensures tight dimensional and load tolerances for repeatable performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style precision compression spring for mechanical assemblies, valve components, and control linkages requiring a 0.3-inch outside diameter with closed and ground ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by mechanical assemblers, HVAC technicians, or plumbing professionals depending on the end application. Always de-energize or depressurize the host system before servicing spring-loaded components. Verify the housing bore diameter and pocket depth against the spring's outside diameter and free length before installation. Do not compress the spring beyond its solid height of 0.383 inches, as permanent set or damage may result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0319 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.48 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.00 pounds (28.99 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.383 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.313 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed and Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI 302, ASTM A228, ASTM A313\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GARDNER SPRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36368GS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51963322401074,"sku":"36368GS","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9cdbfabe898f8fb8e15c0591c98cc460.jpg?v=1789948363","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-36368gs-compression-spring-0-3in-od-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
